dark level values for each DIT of the series and linear fit
QC1PARAM QC1 parameters written into QC1 table:
FITSNAME, DBNAME , typical value, description:
QC.DARKCURRENT, qc_darkcurrent, dark current in ADU/sec
QC_DIT_MIN, qc_ditmin, minumum DIT of the sequence
QC_DIT_MAX, qc_ditmax, maximum DIT of the sequence
ALGORITHM Description of algorithms:
measure the dark level for each DIT and obtain the dark current by a linear fit
to a series of dark frames with incerasing DIT
CERTIF This is a technical calibration. All frames should be accepted.
COMMENTS There is a characteristic crescent like shape reagion in each chip with slightly higher dark current.
